Colorado Vacation visitng the Koeniger's

So much fun was had, even though our reason for the trip wasn't a good one.  It was great to be there to support great friends!

Two boys in the potty training phase, oh my!

Colorado Vacation- Day 1

We had a change of vacation plans.  We were suppose to head North, but instead headed West.  Mark's good friend's Dad passed away unexpectedly, and we wanted to be there to support them.  We weren't able to stay for the funeral, but we did get to spend some time with the Koeniger's.  Thanks to Grandma & Grandpa for entertaining us, the boys enjoyed so many fun outings!  It was so fun to see old friends and enjoy family time.  I wish we could make this trip 4 times a year, each season would be awesome! Colorado is beautiful and I wish we could spend more time there.

After the aquarium we met Megan & Kacey for lunch at Breckenridge Brewery in Littleton.  It was a very cool brewery! Fun to see.

We also spent time at a little park, the Radtke's refer to it as Airplane Park.  But yet we rode a train ;)

Mark & Megan use to play in the same stream :)

And ride the train :)

Dinner that night was at one of our family favorites, White Fence Farm! It's always a crowd pleaser and the kids love it!  The animals, tree house, and playground help :)

The Best 4 Days of Summer- The Lyon County Fair!

So the saying goes.  In my line of work, these days are not so much fun! But it does get me out of the office and I get to enjoy fair food for 4 days.  It doesn't seem so bad anymore after going through it pregnant! I was miserable that year, so now they all seem pretty easy. 

Cameron showed a calf and cow this year so that was exciting.  He did great and learned a lot.  I think James' gets more stressed out than Cameron, but I could tell they both were nervous. 

Paige also showed a calf! She got Grand Champion!

Cam got Grand Champion Reserve!

She was very strubborn.  Make him realize they need to work with her more.

Gary & Sheri celebrate 40 years!

We had a great Anniversary party for Gary & Sheri as they celebrated 40 years.  We surprised them with Megan & Kacey attending their party.  We invited family and friends in the area for dinner.  We held it in the basement of Frontier Bank, Mark was able to line that up for us!  Complete with a slideshow and cake :) I'm not sure where all the pictures went from the party, but here are some photos we had taken later that night.  We haven't ever had our professional pictures taken as a family, so I thought it was great!  Of course Lisa took them for us ;) Out of the 50 taken, we got a couple good ones ;)
